So I guess my birthday plate has been around for 60 years. Isn't it cute?
Look at these....I didn't even have to make these look old, they are naturally old!
Things have really changed!
I had a wonderful celebration yesterday. Amber & Dylan were home from their trip and Adam & Tristen came over. We hung out, had some margaritas, ate Lou Malnati's Chicago Pizza, along with some Portillo's Italian Beef sandwiches and a beautiful cake. (Mark fixed everything and I made some appetizers)
I received so many beautiful cards from family and friends. Amber and Dylan bought me a really cute Christmas ornament, a slice of pizza. Adam and Tristen bought me a Mickey Halloween Tree decoration. I got See's candy from Mark and Skye. When they asked me what I wanted for my 60th birthday I said "for all of us to go and see Wicked!" So on December 11th we will be going to the Pantages Theatre in Los Angels to see it. I am so excited! That is why we stayed home yesterday rather then go out to eat because we will be going to eat in Los Angeles after the matinee. We have pretty good seats too!
So today I accept the challenge of liking who I am and enjoying my 60's. I vow to make the changes in myself to become healthier and happier before I turn 61!
I have no plans today. I thought about going to a casino but Mark and I are actually going to Las Vegas next Monday so I think I better wait to gamble there. I do however have a strong desire to go swing so I may just have to get in my car and go to the park! Mark and I may go out to dinner tonight but we don't have any definite plans.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO ME!

I'm up at 3a.m. having nightmares about high blood pressure, medication and having more doctors to go see than I do toes to count them on. This has to be the nightmare of an 80 year old!
Happy Birthday Debbie! I enjoyed this post. Isn't it funny how we do so much reflecting on our birthdays? I giggled at your comment about grandmother not riding the Tilt A Whirl and I love that picture of the blonde beauty on the diving board!!! Happy happy birthday to beautiful YOU!
Happy, happy birthday to you!! What a great celebration you had yesterday! And I loved Wicked! Y'all are going to have so much fun! Enjoy!!
Happy Birthday to you! 60 is just a number - you are doing way more than your grandparents did at 60 like the tilt a whirl! Things like that keep us young! So happy for you!
Happy Birthday!! I hope that 60 turns out to be better than you ever imagined it could be. You will have to let me know how Wicked is. I have been wanting to see it for ages now but never get around to it when it is in our area.
Oh, happy, happy birthday, Debby! May this be your best decade ever! {{hug}}

Happy Birthday,Debby!
Hope you have a wonderful, funfilled day!
Happy birthday, dear friend!
I just read an article that said if you live to be 60 you will more than likely live to be over 80...so congrats!! It also said that most 60 year olds start to re-invent themselves and continue to add to society with new and exciting ideas and inventions...so you go girl!!
I love the pics of you - you are adorable! And you're right..I cannot see my mother at my age doing anything I am doing ..and I'm glad I'm not where she was at my age!
Isn't it just wonderful to be where we are right now? I love myself and I know my weaknesses but I choose to focus on the positives..and I feel that's just perfectly OK :-)
We're showing a younger generation how to age...fully and...beautifully! Happy Happy Happy Birthday my friend!
Happy Birthday To You.Happy Birthday To You.Happy Birthday Dear Debby.Happy Birthday To You and many more. I'll be caught up to you next month. Great pictures. And yes I agree that 60 is the new 40. My grandmother lived to be 63 and looked to have been 80. Trish
Love the new background it's so pretty. Trish
AND HAPPY BIRTHDAY to you Sis!!!!
I'm 54 tomorrow!!!!! PRAISE GOD for our health Sis!!!! LOVE your note today>>>> :0)
Happy Birthday to you, beautiful Debby! Loved the pictures! And, girl...the tilt-a-whirl...now that's something!! I'm a little queasy just thinking about it! My friend Dinah used to say that you just reach a certain age of and you sort of stay that age in your head forever. I think mine is maybe 25. I will always be 25 in my head. (Even if the mirror tells a way different story!)
Much love to you!
Happy Birthday! My in-laws are bringing us some Lou's pizza this weekend! How did you get the Portillos? I wish they could bring that too! I also have a plate from the hospital where I was born!
Happy Birthday!!!
I haven't been on blogger lately and think it's funny that I found out it's your birthday by seeing it on pinterest.
Happy Birthday, Debby!
Congratulations. Glad you had a happy birthday.
Happy Birthday, enjoy Wicked! I heard it is awesome!
Happy Birthday...love the photos...
Happy birthday, Debby! What a wonderful celebration you had. And how fabulous that you will all get to see Wicked in December (right after MY birthday). I think October 3rd was a great day for nice people to be born - there must have been something in the stars.
Wishing you all the best for this year and for many, many more.
HUGGLES!!
HAPPY HAPPY BIRTHDAY! Glad you had a great celebration! You deserve it and much more! BIG HUGS and Lots of Love ! ;O)
Happy Birthday Debby!
When it comes to age I always try to think of this statement...
"How old would you be if you didn't know how old you were?"
It's important to think young. And I think you do that! Enjoy your day!
Hope you had a great day!
Sounds busy and full. Yay for all your gifts and guests! Especially yay for your resolve to enjoy the coming year.
Happy Birthday Debby !!
Hope you had a wonderful day !!
Happy Birthday! Isn't it amazing how years ago age was so much older? You will love wicked! Enjoy!
Yeah to you friend!!! Happy birthday and I loved this post- the pictures, the words, the feeling. May God bless you this year and always!
HAPPY BIRTHDAY, DEBBY! Look at you.....you are BEAUTIFUL!
I hope you have a WONDERFUL DAY!
Blessings~
Laura
Hope you enjoyed your day..
Happy Birthday to you! It looks like you had a good one, with more fun to come when you go see "Wicked"!
Have a great week, and enjoy being 60. Wishing you much health and happiness in the future :)
Happy Birthday to you!!! Sorry I'm late...
Sounds like the perfect birthday to me. You are going to LOVE Wicked. My daughter chose that for her bday present 3 years ago. I didn't want to go because I don't like the Wizard of Oz and the theatre is just down the street from Childrens Hospital LA (where I lived for 3 weeks just months before) so I was worried about all of the memories. But, for my daughter I rose to the occassion and took her. To my surprise, I loved it. Absolutely LOVED it. I was the one that received the blessing that day because it validated all my feelings about feeling misunderstood in my grief. God definitely works in mysterious ways.
Hugs,
Trisha
Ok so if 60 is the new forty then ...40 is the new 20 so that makes me just 28 years old YEAH!!!!!!!!!! Those prices are so eye opening... The cost of homes alone has really skyrocketed.
Blessings, Joanne
Happy Birthday Debby! Absolutely love the collage of photos of the ages and stages of your life -- each one beautiful!
HAPPY BIRTHDAY, Deb! Sounds like you had a great day with fun birthday action ahead! I like your determination! We might as well take on the challenge and stay young at heart and mind. The boobs will still sag. :( I know what you mean about those old pictures; sixty really looked old then. Hollywood has changed that for us. I love it when I see an 80-year-old with jet black hair and red lipstick! lol Hey, take some good pictures of the Wicked trip in December. How fun!
Yeah I'm so excited you had a fab birthday!
LOVE LOVE the pizza slice that is a perfect ornament! And to go see Wicked all together is amazing!
I hope you got my card, and whenever my butt can make it to the PO I'll have a box out to you too ... :)
It's really true. People used to get old so much earlier than we do now. Thank goodness.
I couldn't quit smoking before I turned 40, but I did quit before I turned 41. There's something about those big numbers that really light a fire. I hope you enjoy your 60th year!!
